one of the most useful app for android phones. too bad that devs dont uodate it anymore. i still use it with my zenphone 2 but the usb port is not so stable anymore and i lose connection quite often. ive read that the app does not work with newer android.

Worked first try! It's almost 2023 but this gem still works. OnePlus 9 Pro, Android 11, rooted, ubl. Magisk 25. The downloader built in is broken now but I manually downloaded and pushed to my newly created droiddrive folder and it was recognized. Click on the ISO you want to use and set it as Host before connecting to PC
